5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Comedian Tony Hawks has been explaining how he replies to emails intended for the skateboarder, Tony Hawk. Hawks told Adrian Goldberg: 'I'm actually Tony Hawks with an 's', he's Tony Hawk without, but I still get 10 emails a week asking me to do a 909 or an ollie.' Hawks added: 'I've started replying, as him, but an unexpected him, so I say "If you spent less time skateboarding and more time paying attention to punctuation these errors wouldn't happen." Hawks revealed he doesn't have anything against Hawk as a person: 'I think he's a nice guy,' he said. 'I think he does a lot of good work for charity, judging by the mail that comes my way, he does open a lot of skate parks.' This clip is originally from Phil Williams on Tuesday 17 March 2015
